At what time does Netflix release shows? Read here to find out the exact release timings

Netflix is an online streaming giant that has given audience all over the globe several brilliant shows and films. Netflix has also stepped into the regional scene to create Netflix original movies and shows, in addition to licensing several other works. One question that always comes across the viewers' minds is 'What time does Netflix release shows?'. Netflix has a simple answer for that!

What time does Netflix release shows?

Netflix announces the release date of the shows, but it never announces the timing. Why so? The online streaming giant has already cleared that question. In the Help section of Netflix, the answer to this one recurring question is given. 

As we know, Netflix either licenses the shows or produces original regional content. Netflix original shows and movies are released at 12:00 am Pacific Time globally. Some Netflix titles are "original" in one country, but not in others. In this case, in the country where the show is an 'original', it is available at 12:00 am Pacific Time. In other countries, where the show is a licensed title, and not an original, the show is available at 12:00 am local time.
